The Red Witch 23. Who is Icarus?
Once Zayn evolution to his mature state on the day of his birthday, everyone at the party felt his aura. A compelling aura of an alpha. I knew Zayn was no ordinary beastman, but I would never have expected him to be an alpha.Three years ago, when I found him, he was timid and hostile mainly because he was captured and going to be sold on the black market. If it weren't for me and the others stopping the operation, Zayn would have been traded.Can't you believe I made a child with pure alpha blood be my assistant? Having such powerful blood in him makes him a prince. Then again, I didn't treat him as one like Daniel. If I were to known of Zayn's origin, I would have placed him in a different position. After the party, I offered him a higher status, but he declined at once. Zayn loves serving me and staying by my side. He even begged me not to give him the position. It was quite childish for someone who just transformed. But what was a beastman child doing with a trafficker?If Za
The Red Witch 24. Baltic Sea Port: The Weeping Woman Revenge (part 1)
I couldn't quite fathom the word that came from Zayn's mouth that night. I've been in a daze for a whole day after the party. My mind was adrift. It's been easy to understand Zayn's transformation to alpha but challenging to know how he claimed me as his mate. Every time we share eye contact, I avoid looking at him. Yesterday, I heard the word "mate" from a few maids cleaning the corridor. Something inside me flipped, and I ignored Zayn.I felt happy having him by my side and honestly didn't want him to leave me. Still, the word "mate" scares me. Am I his mate? It seems so surreal. I know how clinginess Zayn can be than anybody since we first met that night three years ago. I felt something, but it was more like protection to a kid with whom I felt close. Then again, I thought of Daniel, and Rebecca helped remind me not to fall too deep in love again. I shake my thoughts and focus on this trip. Zayn and I arrived at Baltic Sea Port this morning using teleportation.I could h
The Red Witch 25. Baltic Sea Port: The Weeping Woman Revenge (part 2)
Zayn and I arrived at the house on the hill. It was a manor that was said to be owned by a benvelot count and his family many years ago. But the main reason why no one has moved here since I purchased this land was because of its history. The history of the Weeping Woman. Before this area became fishing mined, other people had lived here under the rule of the Count and his family. The Count had a wife and one daughter. His daughter had been said to be the most beautiful and elegant woman. It was said by the old man who used to work for the Count and his family the daughter was pursued by wealthy and noble men in hand in marriage. There was one man who had set her eyes on.Not noble, not wealthy, but a fisherman. The daughter and the fisherman love each other so much they would meet at the beach and watch the Rainbow Whales together to commemorate their love. A promise to be together forever. One night, the Count’s daughter decided to elope and leave her title after hearing she
The Red Witch 26. Baltic Sea Port: The Weeping Woman’s Revenge (part 3)
"You have a lot of nerve showing up here, Pendleton," the menacing ghost woman glared her pale white eyes at the old man.The angry spirit doesn't look white as a ghost; her skin is dark, and her eyes are pale. You can't see pupils. She spread her menacing ghost powers to frighten the old lord. Pendleton took a step back. His face was pale as the white dress of this angry ghost. If I'm right, this angry spirit is none other than Count Everlot's daughter and this man's wife, Viola.“Please…don’t…I just…”"Just what!" Viola screeched. "For my dying wish to come here and mock me!""No!" Pendleton cries and drops down to his knees. "I-I just wanted you to leave me alone. I thought coming here and performing a ritual would ease your spirit. Please, Viola, let me be."Viola glared. "This wouldn't have happened if you let me leave with Tomas." Her angry tone shifts to a sob. "My love…"Viola clenches her hands against her heart as she calls out her lover's name. "I wouldn't have killed my
The Red Witch 27. Do I deserved his love?
After solving the problem involving Pendleton, I arrested him for the murder of Tomas Fren. I sentenced him to Pandora's State Prison for life after all the crime at Baltic Sea Port occurred here.We learned that Pendleton's businesses had a downfall crisis with his partners. Nobody wants to work with Pendleton because his warehouses are haunted. It seemed Viola did make her husband lose everything. She made him lose his title and wealth. Viola had her revenge already and wanted to pursue more by killing him.It's a good thing I talked her out of it. If Viola did kill Pendleton, she would turn into an evil spirit who would never rest and move on unless exorcist by a priest or killed by someone with magic. Someone like me. But that wasn't the only thing we found. It seems he also does business shipping cargo of Happy Dust. Zayn found travel logs and shipment slips in Pendleton's office. It's proof that the Happy Dust is being produced at Velasco, a city where the rich gets richer an
The Red Witch 28. The Masquerade Ball
My first thought… I'm not too fond of it. I hate big parties such as a ball. Fancy gowns, buffet table of finger foods, classical music, and everyone is in fancy attired! I hate the dress I have on right now. Mavelin designed a black and red dress. But luckily, I get to wear my leather pants underneath. Megan Jacobi has outdone herself with the party. I thought she would go wild and out since she's such a partygoer, but I recognized some people here. Influential people from all over the world are into crimes and illegal activities. I have to maintain myself from taking down some of the crime lords. I'm a distinguished guest looking for a source of Happy Dust. It was easy to enter the party with Pendleton's invitation, especially since Pendleton isn't Pendleton. Zayn had to impersonate me as I was his partner. It's a good thing they don't check for facial recognition; otherwise, I would have to use magic to conceal Zayn's face, which wouldn't be an issue. "Lady Alice," Zayn whis
The Red Witch 29. Volunteer as Tribute
The man had fully transformed into something not human. He arched his back, started growling like an animal and started charging at the Howler. They fought violently. I've observed the drugged human as he was pierced by the Howler's nails but did not feel any pain. "My lady," Zayn whispered as I nodded. "It seemed they added a new feature to Happy Dust." Megan Jacobi had upgraded the drug. "What are we going to do?" As much as I want to capture the human and bring him back for Prisca to examine. I can't expose our identities just yet. "We wait," I tell my companion. I eye Zayn and then watch how his hands curl into a fist on his lap. He's more hesitant than I am. But I can't let a rampaging alpha beast be involved in a fight. The crowd went louder when the man jumped on the Howler's shoulders. The creatures tried to grab him and throw him off. The man firmly crossed his legs around the Howler's neck while his hands held the head. The Howler struggled to break free, b
The Red Witch 30. Broken Seal
I fought hard against one powerful monster who was considered to be second under dragons. Though wyverns and dragons are in the same family, the only difference is wyverns have two legs while dragons have four. The red wyvern swings his spiky tail as I dodge, causing the crowd to go wild. They have been cheering for the damn lizard since the start of the fight. That was thirty minutes ago. My battle with the wyvern has been going on for this long—longer than the other rounds, where it only lasts under fifteen minutes. The lizard is playing with me like a cat and mouse. It wants to play with its food before eating it. The audience and Megan wanted to see my death. They wanted blood splattered on them as if it rained. It sickens me that such people like them love to witness blood. After dealing with the wyvern, I'll take down Megan and everyone else in here. I don't have the right moment to see how I'm occupied fighting the lizard, but that is because it entertains the criminals an

The Red Witch 41. The Child of Zayn
Zayn and I appeared at the front gate of Gauford in the country of Ferona, where one man governs, and he's the man I'm going to see."Lady Alice," Zayn grabbed my arm before I stepped."Zayn, I told you not to be so formal with me," taking his hand. "We are husband and wife now."He blushed."Well, on your terms, but once we return home, let's have a proper wedding."Then Zayn pulls a smile. "I would love that.""Okay, now let's see Merkoff and chat with him."As I approached the gate, a line of people was already going into the city. Usually, to enter one's city, one would need a gate passed with an authorized signature from a guild or someone with power. But the line isn't moving, and people who want to get through are complaining."Seems this line has not moved, Alice."I nod my head. With my palm, I magically appear a pass—my own. Since I run my domain, they shouldn't question it. But just to be so cautious. I skipped the line and approached the guards at the gates."Excuse me
The Red Witch 40. Protect What's Mine
"Zayn?" I sat up on the bed, looking at him. "My love, what is it? Why with the tears?"Suddenly talking about his time with this man name Merkoff must be an unpleasant memory. That is what got my blood boiling. My body is warm from the release of my magic. "Zayn, what did he do?"Zayn sat up but kept his head down to avoid eye contact with me. Looking at his eyes, he knows I can read him like a book.I grip his chin to face me. "Zayn, what did that man do?" I asked again, not to flash my anger towards him. His expression is distraught, and advert his eyes, his body trembling. Zayn just recently became a man, but the mind of his past is still intact. Although we did an adult thing together, and I feel like I did something inappropriate, beast people mature faster than humans. Zayn was just a child, and to think he had experienced something so horrifying and traumatic pissed me off. I got off the bed."Alice, where are you going?"I snapped a bit of my magic to dress myself fully.
The Red Witch 39. Start of the Mate Bond - part 2
The way of pleasure has overwhelmed me since the start. Zayn was not playing around when he took his sweet revenge by ramming me hard. But he made sure not to be too rough. Since he had entered me, I could only feel hot and scream. I held him tight against me as he thrust. My nails dug into his skin. It has been a while since I felt this way. With David, he was good at first at the start of our relationship, but after dating, he stopped trying to please me, and I see it as pity sex. When we have sex, the feelings from that start to fade as if he is bored looking at me, about everything about me. Like he has lost love for me. I open my eyes and look up at Zayn's perfectly sweaty complexion. All thoughts of my past relationship with David started to replace Zayn's face, and I couldn't be happier to forget David and think about the now. I pulled Zayn's face and locked lips with him. Our tongue swirl around. I moaned from the wet kiss. "I love you," I whispered in his ear. He g
The Red Witch 38. Start of the Mate Bond - part 1
Warning.Sexual Content is advised.I teleported Zayn and me to a secret place I could only access.I watched the curious wolf, confused and alarmed by this particular place. "What is this place?" He asked me. He poked a bobblehead figure and then flinched back wry at it. I created the same item when I went to New York for my second anniversary with David."This," I plopped down on my bed, relaxing. "This is my apartment."“A-part-ment?”I chuckled at his cute expression. "When I transgressed into this world and learned of my powers, I decided to create a sanctuary where I can be myself," I say, brushing my hand over the soft cushion. "I had recreated my apartment into this small space."I used a lot of my magic to make a replica of everything from my memories. Every piece of furniture, nook, cranny, and decoration is in my apartment. I want to feel like I'm back home when I'm here. But it's been a long time since I have been here. Zayn must be so confused and unfamiliar with this

Many have lost their lives during that reign.It took almost a whole year until Gorik defeated Elderon.It drove Elderon into hiding and led Gorik into a deep slumber to restore his magic.But Elderon returned to take over the humans until my grandmother stepped in and sealed him.Long story short, Elderon has yet to be defeated but is locked up. But now he has been released because Sera is no longer living. Icarus informs me that I should finish the job and kill Elderon."Then explain my transformation," I tell him.

He explains. "It seems he told of her fate.""Her fate?"Icarus then told me something unexpected. The dragon knew my mother would end up in Rozen Estate, how that bastard father would force hims
The Red Witch 36. Stories of the Past
When I asked a susceptible question about my mother's upbringing, it brought sadness to Icarus' face. It seemed another topic he wished he never wanted to discuss. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked," I told him, feeling guilty. "I just...I just wanted to know how my mother ended up at Rozen Estate." I put down my cup and clasp my hands on my lap. "I never knew my mom, but I heard from some of the maids says she was a beautiful and kind woman. She always smiles, does her work diligently, and never complains once." I wish I could meet my mom. In my other life, my other mother as a similar personality as Sylvia. I was saddened that this body had not met her mother, but I did. Sylvia died from childbirth and left poor Alice alone in a world without love. "I know you can foresee how I experience loneliness and neglect by my father." I clenched my fist. "And judging by your expression, you know I'm not from this world."For a sage like him, he should know everything, including the bey
The Red Witch 35. The Great Sage, Icarus Vladimir
I could not comprehend what I heard after I passed out again. I woke up after an hour of passing out because of the magic locked up inside me. I was reintroduced to Icarus Vladimir, known as the Great Sage. Someone who can foresee the past, present, and future. He is someone who I've wanted to meet. Someone can tell me about my grandmother, Sera, and their relationship. Just looking at the man, he looks no older than thirty. He has a face of a young man but has white hair and a beard making him look similar to Albus Dumbledore or Gandalf. But I see no wrinkles anywhere to tell he is old, but if he knew Sera, he must be over 50 years old. Sages are different from witches. Sages hold not only great power but also knowledge as well. They also possess elements and connect with element spirits who they contract with.He's a powerful Elementalist. I had never heard of this person nor read about him in books, but the gold dragon told me to seek answers from him because of his wisdom.
The Red Witch 34. I’m a Fake!
I hate feeling vulnerable.Weak, especially in front of Zayn as I confessed my honest feelings. In my past life, I never received love from my father, stepmother, and sister. After my mother died, my father remarried and abandoned me for his new family. I was left alone. That is until Grandpa Jesus saved me and took me in. Even with his age, he provided my education, a roof over my head, clothes to wear, and food to fill my stomach. Grandpa Jesus raised me until he left me. I was alone again. Then David came into my life. I thought I found happiness with him, and he loved me. But…I was blinded to falling for a guy like David. I did everything to please him. I dropped out of school to work and help with his businesses. I worked harder than he ever did. And when I had enough of wanting to break up, he apologized with expensive gifts, and his sweet words swayed me.I was stupid back then because I loved him. I gave up my dress for him and returned used me, humiliated my pride, an
The Red Witch 33. Afraid of Being Alone
My eyes snap wide open, and my body feels warm; I can feel it sweat.That dream was intense, or should I say memory. It was Sera's memories of the day she fought that evil dragon and sacrificed herself to save the world from his demise.My brain is still fizzled from seeing my grandmother's memories, but I felt I was there to see why Sera did what she did. Me.The evil dragon, Eldron, wanted my mother; still a child, to steal Alice, who wasn't born yet, as his bride. The thought of having a child bride sickens me.Who wants to marry an evil dragon obsessed with power?But Sera and the dragon mentioned a prophecy about the next Red Witch. My grandmother said that Icarus foresaw the downfall of the black dragon at the hands of the subsequent Red Witch - me.If my memories are correct, my mother, who had no magic, wasn't a redhead but blonde—more light platinum blonde, almost white. It's rare for anyone to have such hair color. If this world were a video game, platinum blonde hair wou
